Bourn Vincent Memorial

Famous quotes containing the words vincent and/or memorial:

    Earth does not understand her child,
    Who from the loud gregarious town
    Returns, depleted and defiled,
    To the still woods, to fling him down.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
